Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast

Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour in Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point in Grand Turk, and Grace Bay in Providenciales. Today at Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 06:31 AM and sets at 07:07 PM, with the moon 91% lit. Clearer skies tonight should make for fine stargazing, and right after sunset ye may spot bright Venus low in the western sky.

Sunday: Across the Turks and Caicos, the day starts warm and breezy with easterly winds around 15 to 19 MPH, temperatures near 82 to 84 F, humidity around 80%, and it will feel like 89 to 96 F. Mudjin runs 4 to 5 foot seas early, Grand Turk 5 feet, and Grace Bay the calmest at 3 to 4 feet. Through midday and afternoon, skies stay mostly sunny in Grace Bay with only a few clouds, while Mudjin turns a bit more mixed with clouds building to around 40% by midafternoon and Grand Turk clears out nicely after a cloudier morning. Highs reach about 84 to 87 F, and with the humidity it will feel like the mid 90s to near 103 F in Mudjin, near 98 F in Grand Turk, and about 97 F in Grace Bay. Little passing showers stay so light most crews will not notice them. For boaters and beachgoers, Grace Bay looks the smoothest overall, while Grand Turk stays the windiest and choppiest.

Monday: Another warm easterly trade-wind day, though conditions split more by location. Mudjin Harbour holds near 83 to 86 F with 4 to 5 foot seas, winds 12 to 15 MPH, low cloud cover much of the day, and it will feel like 90 to 98 F. Grace Bay stays similar and pleasant with 3 foot seas, east winds 13 to 17 MPH, and only small clouds through most of the day, though a few evening showers may drift through around dinner time. Grand Turk stands out rougher, with 5 to 6 foot seas all day, east winds 16 to 18 MPH, and clouds thickening fast after sunset with showers becoming more noticeable at night. For most of the country the daytime stays bright and boat-friendly enough, but Grand Turk is clearly the least settled by evening.
